Replacing The Fuel Line On Your Snow blower

If you have used unleaded fuel with ethanol in your snow blower at anytime there is a great chance that your fuel lines will melt and fall apart. Todays fuels are designed for todays autos and there is no allowances for older equipment.

So you may get lucky, but I recommend you be prepared to replace the fuel lines, primer bulb and even clean the carb eventually.

TOOL LIST:

Wrenches and Sockets:

Craftsman 56-piece Universal Mechanics Tool Set This set is a good all-around set of sockets and wrenches. This will do 90% of all the “nuts & bolts” you find around the home. AND the best part! Every piece in the set is guaranteed for life!

Screwdrivers:

I believe you should buy the best quality screwdrivers you can afford. There is nothing worse when trying to fix something than to have the screw head strip because of a poor screwdriver. The Craftsman Professional and Greenlee will last you a long, long time.
